Does anyone have any tips on using washable laundry bags? Been washing my shorts on delicate but have noticed slight chipping from the zippers black coating already. (I get it, they were 20 bucks) but going forward was considering getting some of those mesh washable bags for delicates & stuff like this. Always was kinda hesitant in the washable mesh laundry bags with if the item inside would actually get cleaned enough while in a bag. Anyway, figured Id throw that out there for an fyi (be careful washing) and if anyone has any advice, Ive seen a ton on amazon but would love some real world advice if anyone uses this method.

Just get white cotton zip pillow cases and wash them in those. That’s what I do all my wool and delicate stuff in. Sunspel stuff too.
I use them to wash socks to prevent pilling and they come out plenty clean. The trick is to not overstuff the bags so everything inside can move around freely. Hope that helps!
I got mine in XL today. Just a comment about the sizing: I went with the recommended size (35"-37" waist). I'm a 36 inch waist, have what ladies call "a nice butt" and athletic thighs. I'm 5' 9" tall and 195 lbs. The shorts fit perfectly - not tight in any dimension but as well fitted as DC's appear.
Oh yeah, everytime i do. Just kinda part of it unfortunately with coated zippers. But I think the laundry bags is a great idea so I’ll still wash on delicate and inside out but that should be an added barrier to keep from the chipping
Anyone in the US needing a size M? I should have a pair arriving today that I won't need. I can just return if not, but I thought I'd offer it up here first.
New in bag and I'll throw in a blue shoelace. $30.
For whatever it’s worth, for the logo removal I just rubbed some nail polisher remover on it and the lettering instantly dissolved away with no trace left behind. I immediately soaked the shorts in cold water then just let them air dry.
For those in the USA I was just able to order a pair on Amazon (size M) for delivery next week (it says “in stock soon” but apparently they’re still letting you place orders).
For Scandinavians, Russians, Eastern Europeans...(insert other stereotypical Sauna loving countries here) or gym goers amongst us who do not wish to melt the fabric or try any tricky techniques...if you shower and then wear them in the sauna after 10mins the logo just peels right off with no problem at all.
I gotta admit, even after all the instructions, I still don't quite understand how to remove and replace the drawstring(s). It feels as though the neon one doesn't go all the way around, but is actually two separate parts. So you cut these off near the logo after opening the seam (which I am hesitant to do), and then you still have to somehow create an opening to pull a replacement all the way through? I think I understand what y'all mean but I have had pieces of clothing basically tear apart (slowly) after removing something as small as a laundry tag. So the shorts still lie here just like they arrived. 😕
Oh, and I may have a (new and completely intact) pair in XL for sale.

The drawstring is just one piece and is stitched in with the tag on the inside of the waistband. I literally just unpicked the stitches of the tag and removed it and the drawstring then just pulled out. No need to open any seams. Before you then pull the drawstring out, tie one end of it to an end of the new drawstring and then as you pull out the old drawstring from the other end it will thread the new one through - much easier than trying to thread it through after! Hope this helps!
I concur. Remove the JN tag by unpicking the stitches that hold it in place and the drawstring becomes loose. Then do that tying the new blue drawstring around one end of the neon one and pull it through!
Thank you! Yes, that did help a lot! Btw, for removing the logo (on the leg) it also works by just pouring hot water over it and then scratching it of. In case someone doesn't have (or want to use) an iron.

I've been using this set ($8) for 2 years now and they're still going strong:

Yeah. They’ll do too.
Great stuff here. Really appreciate it, thank you!

Bottled in Bond is an absolutely brilliant username.
Try washing inside out on gentle cycle?

Let us know how it goes.

Did it discolor the fabric underneath at all?
No discoloration at all. I used a black pair of shorts as a test run since I couldn’t get a pair in navy.

I think the most difficult thing I found with these shorts was wearing them to my local fishmonger and smearing a few Red Snappers across my crotch.
The things we do for screen accuracy…
And ... GO!
Dude, nobody wants to hear about your dating life ...
I hope you at least bought them dinner first!
I ain't letting anything called "Snapper" near my crotch!
I'm thinking "the most difficult thing" was escaping from the fishmonger after he saw you violating his fish.
Screen accuracy? How close to the screen were you?!?!
A smart man would have visited a fishmonger in another town.
"I think the most difficult thing I found with these shorts was wearing them." FIFY
Who else wants to join in? 😈
We’re no longer dating…but as they say, there’s plenty more fish in the sea…
Once again using marine life to abuse yourself ...
Still looking for mediums in the US!
So I can be screen accurate, can anyone tell me if Bond dresses to the left or the right? 😂
Looks like the left! 😂😂😂
